346 guests' feedbackVery nice and neat house. Would definitely recommend it.
We had a nice stay.
Facility located perfectly near all necessities.
Very satisfied. Value for money.
Was only there one night.
We only arrived at 8pm that evening but our hosts were there waiting for us and checked with us if there was anything that we needed. We were very grateful for their assistance but did not want to keep them as it was already late in the evening. Everything was fantastic and having the aircon was an extra bonus to warm up the room quickly as it was quite cold.
Very convenient for an overnight stop on the way to the Garden Route.
Nice stay, the host is friendly and helpful.
Spacious and comfortable overnight accommodation.
We had a very nice stay and really appreciated the coffee, milk and sugar that was made available in the kitchen.
The owners are friendly and helpful.
Very nice and clean.
Very nice stay, playground for children under 5 would be very welcome. WiFi would have been good too.
Very nice place to sleep during one's journey on the long road.
Very neat, exactly what we expected for the price. A bit of noise in the area, but that's out of the accommodation's control.
It was very comfortable and nice to stay there.
Nice stay. Good bed. All in good working condition.
Very comfortable for overnight sleep. Friendly reception. Safe. We used it as a pit stop with our Jack Russell and family and had a decent night's sleep and were able to leave early the next morning.
It was all we needed for an overnight stay from the Cape to the North West!
Slept very well, thank you.
Quiet environment. Quiet in the night. Comfortable.
The stay was fine for an overnight stay. However, I think the name needs to change. There is no coffee shop, so it is false advertising, and the chalets are really just rooms.
It was average. We shared the room with cockroaches on the floor and walking on our bed. Lots of midges in the room when the light is on. Perhaps leave a doom.
We used it as a place to sleep. To that end, it met all our expectations. The accommodation is good but not 'wow'. I guess I wouldn't recommend it as a long term option though.
Good value for the price, clean and tidy.
Nicely fried. Nice stay. Very comfortable.
Location is perfect and we had a comfortable and enjoyable stay. Will book there again for our overnight stay.
Slept well. Everything was neat. Beds comfortable.
We had a wonderful stay. Was only there 1 night, but was able to have a good barbecue, relax and rest before we had to drive back to Cape Town.
The sleeping area needs an upgrade, and the toilet seat needs to be replaced.
Had a nice stay, relaxed and slept. Place is neat and clean. Was kindly received.
Yes, thank you, we did. Will stay there again.

Great communication before arrival, good drections and friendly greeting on arrival. Parked next to room. Appreciated the simple and convenient access to the main road. Room clean and had all what we needed.
Yes, thank you very much. Quiet and peaceful.
Very nice stay. Friendly welcome and well rested.
Stay was good. Ideal for overnight stay.
Yes, only as an overnight sleep on the way down to the Cape.
Very comfortable and clean.
Had a nice overnight stay.
Very pleasant and clean.
The fridge in the room was very convenient for keeping meat products frozen.
The accommodation was clean, everything needed for an overnight stay was there. For a one-night stay, it is good value for money.
See stars.
Chalet was pleasant. Kitchenette contained everything we required. It was clean. Easy access. Dogs were welcome. They did not provide enough toilet paper, though.
Just could not sleep nicely because of insects and flies inside the house. Otherwise everything was OK. Need to fill the gap between the wall and false ceiling from where flies/insects jump in.
Everything was there that was needed. It is within walking distance of Gariep Dam.
It was comfortable, but our aircon did not work. We chose this venue for the aircon amongst other reasons. But apart from that it was good. Unfortunately, other guests with screaming children left unattended was not great.
A quiet place to stay overnight, no traffic noise.
Everything we needed.
Comfortable layout with braai area. Not adequate cutlery at all - forks are plastic. Just good for overnight. No internet or DStv.
It was all tidy and there is everything you need. I would recommend it for just a quick stopover. Check-in time is from 14:00 to 22:00, but in the middle of the night I was woken up by a guest checking in. The roof plate on no. 5's roof is loose and has been banging all night. I slept so little. Maybe they should get new pillows because the ones there are as hard as a brick. Would only recommend for an emergency overnight stop.
I did not enjoy my stay. The place was very dusty, there were a lot of spider webs everywhere. My daughter was bitten by spiders. I got flu because of inhaling dust. The shower door is not working.
Good place and the owner is also good.
Lovely. Peaceful. Serene.
Had a great time at home. Everything one needs.
Very neat and clean.
Very practical and neat. Exactly as the photos indicate and definitely value for money.
As always, great!
We were traveling from Limpopo to the Eastern Cape and were just looking for a place to stay the night. We also had small dogs. The place was perfect to spend the night.
We enjoyed the stay - it was very good value for money.
Will stay here again and again and again when traveling between Cape and Gauteng. It is clean, tidy and comfortable and has everything needed. Secure parking too. The owners are friendly and always chat with us. Thank you very much for everything.
Pet friendly, kid friendly, safe. Cutest uncle and aunt. Very welcoming.
The security is very good.
Was surprised by friendly owners that received us and made our stay wonderful.
Will book again next trip.
Recommended for any traveler who is tired and wants to rest after a long trip or for a trip ahead.
The rooms are clean and neat. Everything you need for an overnight stay.
Everything was perfect, Harriet contacted me the day we were due to check in, told us to travel safely which tells me they care. She also shared a "location" that we could easily get there on the GPS. Greeted kindly upon our arrival, she even informed us of the load shedding times that would be there during our visit. The room was clean and just as it was in the photo, everything you need as a family was there. Fridge, air conditioner, braai pan, coffee, glasses, plates and cutlery. It is perfectly located very close to the Gariep Dam with the necessary shops just around the corner from them. Thank you for your excellent service, we could have had a nice quiet evening before hitting the road again.
We have been using De Lance for the past 9 years, very satisfied, sleep well, have everything you need. Thank you very much.
Very nice place. Braai area is just not made for rain. They might put up a chimney with a canopy, but we had a great night's sleep, the bed is very comfortable. Many thanks to Tannie Harriet and her husband.
Value for money, tidy, good location.
Very impressed with what we got. Hospitable, neat and very clean.
Nice and clean and we could barbecue.
See stars.
Room was clean and neat, but I wouldn't call it a chalet. Also it is incorrectly advertised as there is no coffee shop. I booked this accommodation thinking that dinner and breakfast could be bought on the premises.
We had a very nice stay. More like a chalet, with kitchenette and plenty of sleeping space. Porch with barbecue area. Clean and tidy. Value for money and just right for a night's sleep after a long day's driving.
Very nice stay, perfect for a night's rest on the way to the sea.
We slept wonderfully and we were received very kindly.
See stars.
Clean and comfortable. Helpful owner.
Was kindly received. Unit clean and tidy, just a bit neat.
Nice and clean for a stop-over to Cape Town.
Ideal for overnight sleep with air cooling and comfortable sleeping place. Kitchen has everything needed to make light meals and coffee with real milk. A little crowded with a kitchenette right next to the bed, but could do what we needed. Not very modern. Had a great sleep and could easily continue our journey early in the morning. Secure covered parking for our car and trailer.
See stars.
Helped immediately upon arrival and showed us the unit as well as how everything works.
It is advertised as a coffee shop but there is no coffee shop. The duvet covers were not the cleanest.
Yes, thank you. Power problems in the whole area, but after that everything was fine and the care was life saving.
We were kindly received. The cottage is neat and adequately equipped. We would definitely recommend it.
We will stay there again. The parking with a caravan was small and difficult to turn around. We had to cut off first and then could turn around and get out.
Safe, and cheap.
I would like more privacy. Need to draw the curtains. Chalets are in a row. If you are in the middle everyone walks past and there are no lace curtains or blinds. Bed is right in front of the window.
This was my second time at De Lance. The first time I was very young and with my parents. They also really liked the place at that time. De Lance really helped me and my husband rest before our long journey back home. It was clean, tidy and had all the amenities we would need for the night there. Will definitely recommend.
See stars.
The hostess was available and warmly welcomed us during the Easter weekend.
I asked in advance if there was room for our caravan and it was then a problem when I spoke to the owner. Reception not too great. We were late but I called to say we were going to be late.
Exactly what we needed.
Neat place to stay overnight. Will stay there again if the opportunity permits.
De Lance is very old, but very clean and comfortable.
Nice parking for caravan, but a well equipped and clean house. Good accommodation to spend the night.
This place is good for one night stopover on the way.
Place was neat and we had a good barbecue. Each apartment/room has its own braai. Will stay there again. Thank you.
People friendly and clean and tidy. TV in room didn't work but not really bother.
Comfortable and clean, slightly cramped for adults. Kitchen is limited. No stove, fridge very very small, can't take a pack of ice. There are braai facilities, but when it rains, as it rained, there is nowhere to go. There aren't actually kitchen facilities for barbecuing. There is no counter to prepare food, only a small table with cutlery, plates and glasses. A more complete roof over the braai and a place to sit would help a lot. No saucepans, but an electric frying pan. There is no grass to sit on, or anywhere to walk. There is an air conditioner and ceiling fan, but it struggles to keep the room cool. For value for money it's good for sure, but I'd rather pay a bit more for comfort. There is no coffee shop, or it was closed when we arrived at 4pm.
Definitely just a place to sleep. No other amenities.
Terribly disappointing experience. The owner of De Lance was terribly unfit from the start! We moved from Pretoria to Cape Town and booked the place to rest halfway. We were 1 hour early to take occupancy of the unit - we only asked to park in the parking lot to get our dogs out of the car and we were more than willing to wait an hour. The owner didn't even say hello, just kept shouting through her palisade, you know the rules. I explained that we only wanted to park for a while but she kept spouting snide remarks and insults. Was in no way welcoming or willing to help us. We stopped booking other accommodation in Colesberg - we didn't see a chance to spend our evening there. She made us feel at home and I do not recommend De Lance to anyone at all. They advertise coffee shop and bar? Not that we could notice! Rather cubicle with palisade and storage space for extra stuff!
It was ok. The toilet just stank all night.
Not very clean, a bit neglected. I would much rather stay at Gariep Inn for the same price.
The overnight stay was OK, it is quiet and peaceful, facility clean, Harriet was able to welcome and greet us, friendly, thank you.
Towels and bed linen clean. Kitchen cloths stink. Self care very limited. Fridge, microwave and half braai pan. Shower very small.
Photos do not tell the story. If I compare the other place we stayed in, this is not accepatable. cutlery in the draw comes from about 5 different sets. linen on the bed must be about 50 years old. very thin. There is no COFFEE shop as the name indicates.
Plek's bathroom faucets did not work at all, the shower head was not clean at all and the pressure was low. Was a disappointment for me and my parents. The pictures were also not at all consistent with what we got to sleep over.
Before we could even unload our luggage, the lady was there to get the outstanding amount, had to ask how the TV was working.
Will definitely use again.
Slept well and was well rested.
It's a very cute place, very pleasantly welcomed by owners and we had everything you need to spend the night.
Neat and safe chalet with everything we needed for the overnight stay. Would definitely recommend.
The reception was very friendly, the beds are comfortable, the linen is beautiful and the kitchen is equipped with a microwave, kettle and basic necessities. Our daughters were able to sit outside and gaze at the beautiful stars. The parking is secure and it is conveniently located close to the N1.
The place is more than enough. Slept well. Everything is clean and tidy.
Neat and clean. The uncle and aunt are very hospitable and friendly! There is everything that is needed.
Microwave did not work.
Very pleasant owners.
This was not the first time we spent the night there and will not be the last.
Very well located for an overnight stay.
We were warmly received, even though it was already a little late. The room we stayed in was beautiful, very clean and fully equipped. I recommend the facility with conviction.
Great relaxation after a busy day on the road. We were warmly received and the room was fully equipped and tidy.
We were received friendly and hospitable. The rooms are very nice clean, tidy and spacious, would even be ok for more than one night but we were only there one night. For me, the shower, toilet and fridge are always the first things I check to see if they are clean and believe me they were beautifully clean. The air conditioner and roof fan work 100%, thank goodness for that because it was a hot day and night. Beds slept well and bedding was clean and tidy. I think they do a great job overall and I would definitely stay with them again.
Feel free to support them! Cute little places and well priced. Everything you need.
Lovely and homely, neat and clean. All you need in small kitchen, microwave, kettle, crockery and cutlery. Tea, coffee, sugar and milk. Just bring your own wine, there are wine glasses. Perfect.
Very friendly host and wife. Room is very clean and tidy, peaceful environment.
Was very neat and comfortable will definitely book here again to stay overnight.
Pleasant reception and well-furnished rooms with everything you need for a nice visit. Thank you very much, will use again and recommend to others.
Was willing to wait us in. Could easily drive whenever we wanted for the next long haul. So again 4 hours could already fall in the way.
Well located. Everything you need for a quick sleepover. Coffee and milk and air conditioning a bonus.
Neat, friendly guests. Unfortunately a few bed bugs attacked us and we struggled with the rash all week. Otherwise ideal for overnight stays.
Bedding needs new pillows. Toilet in room 3 keeps running. Otherwise aircon in rooms, been quiet.
It's clean and tidy. Very good overnight option between Pretoria and the Cape.
Received peacefully, very safe, we checked in late and drove again early in the morning. Would definitely recommend for a quick overnight stay.
Secure parking for car. Good space.
There was coffee and tea but no biscuits. All the other places we have slept in have provided this.
Was only there one night, very peaceful.
The facilities were clean and tidy and provided for basic needs.
Affordable and no-frills accommodation for a late arrival and an early departure.
We got there late in the rain. Cold and unpleasant. The apartment was wet and a towel was put down. Shower is so small that only a child will fit in there.
The Hostess is friendly, but it doesn't make up for the horrible location, semi-clean and cramped room. Your front door stares into the backyard of the home the owner lives in which is littered with scrap yard steel. Would not recommend De Lance Chalet!
Had to ask for replacement of 1 towel with a new, clean towel. Dishcloth in the kitchen just one look and went to eat at Tjailatyd.
Would appreciate it if parents with children would just keep them quiet and not make noise and wake people up.
Friendly people, nice clean and comfortable facilities.
Nice place to spend the night between Johannesburg and Mossel Bay.
Excellent communication from Harriett and the accommodation is clean, tidy, perfect for overnight while travelling. Nice roast and good time.
Good place to stay. Clean and tidy.
Room very neat. I can strongly recommend the accommodation.
Clean, tidy apartment. We were received very kindly. Felt right at home.
The unit has the essentials for an overnight stay at Gariep. A soft bed and hot shower to end a long day was welcoming.
This is very basic, very clean and tidy accommodation if you are looking for a place to rest, eat and sleep on your journey between Cape Town and Johannesburg. Value for money. Safe and clean. Take a book with you - the TV channels are limited. Go check out the dam.
Peaceful rural setting.
Perfect for overnight, units are neat, clean, and have everything we needed. Car was safe and owners friendly.
Very good reception. Room clean and very tidy.
Pleasant overnight stay.
Quiet, clean and everything you need for an overnight stay!
The room is spacious, neat and clean. Nice warm sleep. It's a quiet and peaceful environment. The location is excellent. It's easy to find the place. Just a pity the gate doesn't open with a remote control. I would recommend it for young people anytime, but be careful for older people, especially if they have to walk with a buggy or other aids, because one of the steps is high and the walking surface from the vehicle to the unit is very uneven. The step into the shower is also high. I didn't find any information about the coffee shop - don't know if it was open.
Rooms were nice clean and very spacious. Was a big group of 8 with kids and everything needed was in the rooms. Had a great night's rest after a long journey.
The owners are friendly and helpful.
I will definitely book here again.
An ideal overnight stop on the way to the Cape.
Had a great time, and our two dachshunds were also welcome.
Great place for an overnight stay. Hosts were very nice and helpful.
Our choice for overnight stay after a long drive was disappointing. Bathroom terribly small and cramped, getting into the shower with difficulty and then you have to step carefully or you slide in and out! And if you're a little big, you can forget about fitting into a small shower door!
Harriet was very helpful.
Pretty basic, but good for a safe overnight stay.
Did the job. Got a good reception. Chalet was neat and clean. Air conditioner was fantastic. Was a very hot day/night. Will definitely stay over again. For us it was value for money.
Well located. Facilities are provided for overnight stays.
Good overnight stop with all the basic amenities.
My sister forgot her gold ring there. We had barely left when the owner called us. Thank you so much for wonderful honesty. This happens very rarely.
Comfortable place to stay for one night. Could not see where the coffee shop or small shop is located. The owners did not give an indication either. Maybe he was already there. After all, it was Sunday night. Safe parking for the car under a canopy behind a locking gate is a plus. There were spiders in the bathroom, but that's probably part of nature.
The room was a bit small but well furnished and good value for money. Would not choose it if one is going to stay a few days, but for one night it is very well suited.
The units are close together which limits privacy, but otherwise comfortable.
Would suggest that WiFi is offered. Excellent service.
Gariepdam visit was pleasant. A pool would have been nice too.
It is very peaceful there room is spacious and the owner is very helpful will stay there again.
We got there very late and left very early. Didn't see much of the place.
Complaint: DStv was limited to only SABC channels. Had to share shed with owner. No card facilities, cash paid, no receipt received.
Upon arrival host was not friendly. Hostess immediately wanted the rest of the payment, when it had already been overpaid. The room was tidy, but it didn't smell clean and fresh. We went looking for other accommodation. Didn't stay there at all.
Expected more for the price that we paid.
Will stay there again. The chalet was clean and tidy. The beds were comfortable with enough pillows. The owners were very friendly and received us at the gate.
It was raining and we wanted to barbecue. If possible, a canopy can be built over the braai area. Fortunately, Gariep at least has nice restaurants.
We have 3 small children and the room was perfect for our family for an overnight stay between Cape and Gauteng. Aircon in the room with braai facilities makes for a great rest. Would definitely recommend as an overnight stop for the long haul.
Nice and quiet.
Friendly service and has a very welcoming feel.
Perfect stopover place between the Cape and Mpumalanga.
De Lance is well located, not just for an overnight stop on the way to Cape Town or Johannesburg. You can make a holiday out of the stay, with the pleasant host and hostess. You and your vehicle are safe at all times and the breakfast you can enjoy at the coffee shop is of good quality. Thank you for your hospitality Gerhard and Hariet, we will definitely do it again soon.
Stop here every year on the way to the Cape and back again.
The aircon was great. Everything clean and comfortable!
Place is well located. Feel safe.
Clean, tidy and spacious.
I am satisfied with the service and price. Good value for money and there is even air conditioning in the room.
Great communications and hands-on by owners, friendly and helpful too. Clean and quiet with basic needs catered for.
Second time I sleep there. Definitely will again.
We only stayed overnight, arrived late, drove early.
Great place to spend the night. Everything needed is there. The barbecue was a highlight. The TV in the room can be upgraded. Very old. Although not used. Thanks, will use again.
My little dogs really enjoyed the premises as there was ample space for them to stretch their legs after a long day in the car. I would recommend De Lance Chalets for any pet lover.
Chalet very clean and tidy. Everything you need for a very comfortable overnight stay. Comfortable bed with clean fresh bedding and towels. Meals available if you need them.
They went out of their way to make it pleasant for us.
Can recommend for peaceful sleepover... even longer period.
For 2 people, it was spacious and adequate. Even fine extras like salt and pepper. All we missed was free Wi-Fi access. Would recommend with confidence and definitely go again myself.
Comfortable and safe overnight accommodation on the long road to the Eastern Cape
Will use De Lance again when we sleep over in Gariep.
We were 4 adults who slept over. Took a road trip. 7 provinces in 10 days. As travelers we were quite tired, this was our last overnight stop before we would venture on the last leg to Cape Town. Having enjoyed a good night's rest, we were fresh and fresh for the last shift.
When we sleep over, our requirements are clean, tidy, safe and affordable. De Lance meets all our needs and we will definitely use them again.
Not any view. Not near eating place. Good for a quiet night's rest on a long road
Room was spacious with double bed and 3 single beds, more than needed. Own barbecue facilities with a good restaurant and supermarket within walking distance. Ideal overnight accommodation for our drive from P.E. to Pretoria and at a very reasonable price. Will definitely use De Lance again in the future.
Room was well equipped and everything we needed. Clean and tidy.
Comfortable and neat.
Neat, clean and quiet.
It was raining when we arrived but the gate was immediately unlocked for us. Feel free to lick after the long drive.
Our long journey back from the Cape came to a welcome stop at De Lance Chalet & Coffee Shop. In the December heat, the air conditioner was a welcome relief. Well priced, fully equipped to put together a quick dinner/breakfast, but we took advantage of Tjailatyd - just around the corner. Thank you very much, Harriet and Gerhard.
De Lance is a nice place to spend the night. It is clean and well equipped. We had a great time and barbecued.
We were amazed at how beautiful and clean our room was, with everything one could need, one of the best overnight places we have ever been.
Customer service was excellent. Very friendly and hospitable. The restaurant's food was fresh and very tasty.
After a long day of driving, we rested well.
Our overnight stay was great, well equipped and kindly received. Thank you Harriet and Gerhard for your hospitality.
Was neatly clean and received us very kindly and helped us.
Place was clean and tidy. Ideal for overnight stay. Everything needed was there. Very convenient. Would definitely recommend.
Good choice. Thank you for the friendly reception.
Very nice place to stay. People friendly and very helpful. Unit clean and tidy.
Slept very well. Comfortable.
Owners were helpful and the unit was clean, had a great stay.
The accommodation was very clean and neat and very safe.
Definitely recommend it. Thank you very much.
It was homey and the beds were comfortable and our hostess was very helpful.
Had a very friendly reception, the unit is ideal for an overnight stop to the Cape. I made a wrong reservation, but the owner met me. Everything works great and is very clean and can't stress that enough!
Wonderful, clean and the restaurant and bar are close by.
Very convenient for an overnight or longer if preferred. Clean, neat and everything you need. Tea, coffee, sugar and a small milk as well. To salt and pepper. Impressed! And a TV and aircon. Wow! We slept very well.
The accommodation is very neat, equipped with the necessary, and we had a peaceful night's rest and accommodation, and the hostess is very accommodating.
It has everything you need to sleep over for a night. Neat and clean.
Ideal overnight stop between the Cape and Gauteng.
De Lance Chalet and coffee shop stay was pleasant, clean and safe.
Halfway between Cape Town and Mpumalanga. Very convenient.
Gerard and Harriet really go the extra mile to receive you warmly and hospitably and make you feel at home. They offer delicious, safe overnight accommodation. Their tasty farmer's breakfast, at an additional pocket pass price, is delicious!
Lovely and spacious with nice clean linen, sufficient extra blankets, fresh towels. Only criticisms would be insufficient DStv channel options and also there needs to be blackout curtains on that unit because it is right by the gate entrance and the car lights, from incoming cars, as well as the road shone in.
See stars.
Everything was tidy and the beds slept great, we will definitely stay here again on our way to the Cape. Good value for money.
Good, practical accommodation for one night's sleepover. Too small to spend a week there. We were 4 adults and 1 child. Very friendly place.
Everything you need for overnight is there. Air conditioner a winner.
Easy to find. Everything was neat and clean. Thank you.
We were there for Trans Xhariep, the unit was nice and big so we could put our bikes inside the unit overnight and the extra single bed was very handy for sorting out our cycling clothes. The air-con was also incredibly nice on the hot day! The kitchen could do with some upgrading. Bathroom and sleeping part were 100%.
Gariep was a pleasant overnight alternative to Colesberg, on the way to or back from the Cape. Feel free to visit this village.
Easy access to chalets from the main road.
Very neat and clean, friendly service. Thanks Hariet and Gerhard, we will definitely stay there again.
De Lance accommodated us at short notice, everything was clean and tidy and we were warmly received, even though we could only check in at 21:00.
The very first room needs a new double bed mattress. He hurts from all the springs and the sheets need replacing and maybe a mattress protector. Shower doors also need to be replaced, because everything is wet when you have finished showering. Also neat and good value for money.
Have been threatening to spend the night there for years and regret we never stopped there, didn't expect it to be such a beautiful area, enjoyed it would recommend. The Gariepdam is also beautiful, although not full.
Very clean, comfortable, had everything we needed for our overnight stay. We had a good night's sleep. I would definitely recommend it for an overnight stay.
Friendly service. There is no anti-theft on door or windows. As a GP person, it makes me a little uncomfortable although I didn't feel unsafe in town at all. Only SABC packages available. Feel free to open DSTV channels for the amount paid.
Place is neat and clean, very peaceful area. No DStv, no WiFi.
Upon arrival at 7pm the owner told us quite abruptly to hurry up as she wanted her privacy! She then kept watching us from behind a curtain which made us uncomfortable.
No coffee shop - name must change. Not a friendly reception at all. Owners just worried about getting paid. We were greeted with "Afternoon. Could you please pay the balance of your account in cash now." Wife told husband he should wait for the money. We haven't even dropped off our luggage yet. A little more kindness was definitely needed.
Not very friendly, demands payment immediately. Bed very uncomfortable. Not enough towels. Supply of coffee and sugar etc pathetic. No receipt for payment. Needs an upgrade.
Was only for an overnight stay, but service was prompt and friendly. Very nice rooms.
Comfortably equipped and tidy.
The place is nice and clean and very user friendly. Nice air-con to break the cabins. Everything you need there. Very friendly owners. Would highly recommend it.
Can definitely recommend if overnight facility is required when travelling. Value for money, neatly air-conditioned rooms and equipped for self-catering also as e.g. want to grill
Very neat, excellent value for money. Very friendly service. Nice place if you're travelling with your pets.
It is truly value for money and in our opinion the best self-catering unit in Colesberg and surrounding area. Very conveniently close to Gariep Dam and also well located from N1. We will definitely book it again on the way home!
Used De Lance Chalet & Coffee Shop as a base for a week. Hosts were friendly and helpful. Can recommend the meals served at the coffee shop. Fresh, tasty and value for money! Will definitely make use of the facility and pop in to have meals when passing by. Thank you for your hospitality.
Had a nice stay and got everything just as it was advertised.
See stars.
Very friendly welcome. Was given a bigger place than we booked. Clean and tidy and safe.
Room was nice and big, friendly service. Clean room and safe.
It's perfect for an overnight stay with your family, very neat and safe. One feels very welcome and nice near Gariep Dam for a quick trip.
Excellent country hospitality. We were warmly welcomed. Secure parking was a big plus. Our unit was clean and tidy. Hariet went out of her way to make us feel at home. Lovely quiet atmosphere. We will definitely sleep here again.
Very nice place to stay over. Already recommended to others.
Previous positive reviews are spot on! We were kindly received and made at home in clean, tidy and comfortable. Accommodation, self-catering facilities were sufficient. Definitely value for money. We were so impressed with the facilities that we stayed there again on our return trip. Would recommend the place anytime! Our thanks to Harriet and her husband for making our stay enjoyable.
Rooms are incredibly well equipped with everything needed. The service is fantastic. Lovely people who own the place. Will definitely use them again.
The unit was spacious with everything we needed. Friendly service and safe.Will definitely stay there again.
Harriet made us feel really welcome after arriving late. We just felt at home.
We had a wonderful overnight stay, the owners made us feel more than welcome and were very accommodating. The dagwood was excellent (and the white wine), braai facilities also available. Highly recommended.
Thank you Harriet and Gerhard. The winter sheets were excellent.
Very good and friendly welcome. Rooms beautifully furnished and very neat and clean. Had everything needed. Would recommend it to anyone. It is definitely worth it. Will use them again in the future.
Outstanding! Will definitely stay there again.
We were made very welcome on arrival. Place was neat and clean and everything you need was there. Could have a nice barbecue and premises are clean and very safe. Must add that it is also a peaceful place. We will definitely use them again and highly recommend them.
Very neat, clean and spacious. Friendly owners and very helpful.
We were kindly received and everything was tidy and everyone was very helpful! Will definitely use them again.
Very beautiful and peaceful. Was able to relax after a long drive. Very friendly reception.
Great value for money. Can recommend it for overnight stay but a bit small for holiday. Very clean and tidy.
Very friendly welcome after a long journey. Very impressed with accommodation, clean, tidy and very affordable. People go to see the jewel on the long way to the Cape!
Clean and tidy overnight stop. Thank you for your kindness Hariette!
All I can say is 10 out of 10 everything. Very enjoyable and tidy rooms and very friendly owners.
Ideal overnight stay! Our stay was great and we had a good night's rest!
Our stay here was wonderful, and we will never forget the owners' kindness and helpfulness. We would love to come here again. Thank you very much.
We only slept here for one night. The people are very hospitable and the place is clean and tidy. The room is well equipped with all the necessities. One can even braai in front of the room. Definitely 10 out of 10. Would definitely recommend for a comfortable overnight stay.
We were warmly welcomed and it had everything we needed for an overnight stay. Will definitely stay there again.
From my inquiry to booking and arrival, I was followed up with, received kindly, room was ready, nice clean and tidy, the coffee bar is very tidy.
Reception by the owner friendly and helpful. Room and bathroom neat and clean. Equipped with full kitchenette, air conditioning and roof fan. Everything I needed. Thank you.
Everything was nice, except that the grill was very dirty.
Was pleasantly surprised for the price we paid. Would recommend to all travelers.
Close to N1 on the road between Cape Town and Johannesburg - good halfway stop!
We had a wonderful overnight stay, very tidy, can highly recommend it.
Convenient as an overnight place. Chalet is well equipped and beds are comfortable and warm. However, TV and a little larger variety of channels can improve.
Everything you need for overnight stay. Friendly owners.
This was our 2nd overnight stay at De Lance and can't say enough about the value for money you get there. And yet it meets all our needs - first of all, clean, tidy and comfortable with everything you need for an overnight stay. Next time we stay for breakfast and coffee. Thank you very much Harriet and Gerhard.
See stars.
Really enjoyed staying there, there are 2 things which could be better: 1. a place for kids to work out their energy after sitting in the car. 2. Even though I felt safe, I did not feel comfortable leaving the bicycles on the trailer over night as car and trailer was parked next to the see through fence. This took a bit of effort and time with 4 bikes on the trailer. Maybe an electric fence on top of the existing fence is a solution considering that people travel with bicycles which are worth over 100,000 Rand, it would give piece of mind.
Good, clean and safe accommodation. Perfect for a one night stop. Good value for money.
Lovely stay, value for money. Will stay there again.
Really excellent value for money and we were well rested for the next day's journey.
We stayed two nights at De Lance Chalet & Coffee Shop. Nice quiet and peaceful area. Could rest well! We spent our day at the Gariep Dam. Really enjoyed it!
Friendly welcome. Neat and clean rooms with everything needed to make our overnight stay comfortable on the way to the Garden Route. Will stay there again!
Thank you very much for your hospitality. The place was very nice and clean and we slept well.
The owners' attention was a bit divided because 3 groups of people arrived at once. We were told we could have breakfast the next morning, but when I wanted to book it they said it was full. I would say a little confusing.
Very nice, thank you. Definitely recommended.
We were well received. The room was basic and clean. Everything was there that is needed for an overnight facility. The shower door is just too small for big men. A bit unfortunate with a Saturday night at the end of the month. The loud chat next door continued until 02:30 in the morning. Still, I can recommend De Lance Chalet & Coffee Shop for an overnight stop. Thank you for the hospitality.
Place was very neat, clean and well equipped. Owners waited for us and were very friendly and helpful about possible places to eat.
We were received very well and slept comfortably. The air conditioning was a bonus on a hot day.
Well located. Value for money. Just make sure you check the plates and the whole place on arrival for any chips or problems and report them, otherwise you'll be accused of it being you.
Very nice place, unfortunately just cold and the gas heater and air-con did not work.
Very helpful hosts and the room was well equipped as an overnight spot.
It was neat and clean, but very basic. Definitely just for overnight. No other facilities like swimming pool etc.
Bietjie afstof, kraan koppe vas draai, water pype behoorlik anker sal help. Bring jou eie kussing...
Would recommend it to anyone. Karoo friendliness.
Very friendly owners, beautiful clean accommodation, and very easy to find.
We had a friendly welcome and it was the perfect place to stay for our family. Neat and clean and everything you could need, would definitely recommend it. Thank you.
Very friendly welcome and immediately felt at home. It was a lovely halfway stop. Relax in their very comfortable beds and sleep well in the air-conditioned units. Would highly recommend it.
Lovely air-conditioned room with everything you need to spend the night.
Will visit again if in those regions.
The owner contacted us in the afternoon to confirm that we were on our way safely. It was indeed a nice gesture on their part. We were warmly received by the owners and we were pleasantly surprised with the neat and clean room, bathroom and kitchen areas that greeted us. The area was very quiet and there was no disturbance from trucks etc. which does not pass by as the guest house units are located far from the N1 bypass. We will indeed stay there again on another occasion.
The room was even more beautiful than in the photos. There is enough space to move around with 5 people in the room. They provided coffee, tea and sugar for the evening and the service was excellent. We had a really nice and comfortable stay.
Clean, neat and tidy. Sufficient amenities. However, I found it to be noisy.
Very clean and neat for a overnight stay. Not recommended as a longer stay.
On our trip down to the Cape, we unexpectedly encounter vehicle problems and cannot make use of our pre-booked accommodation at DeLance. Harriette welcomes us kindly on our return and informs us that she is giving our family of 5 free breakfast as she feels bad that we could not use our first stay! These down-to-earth, salt-of-the-earth people will definitely support their weather! Thank you DeLance for your affordable, friendly and comfortable chalets for tired families who just want to sleep well and get clean after a long day behind the wheel.
Very clean and tidy. Definitely recommended. The breakfast was delicious!
It's an old place, in a very busy and old area! The people could be nicer and nicer! Still, there is everything needed and the place is beautifully clean! The facility is just an overnight facility, a bit impractical, but safe! We are just too grateful that we were able to sleep!
Clean and tidy but no card facility - so forced to withdraw cash after a tiring journey.
We stayed overnight in October 2017 and found De Lance very tidy. The beds were comfortable and very clean, the only problem we encountered was that there was no grass for the children to play on. This led them to play in the rooms and is not correct. Thank you very much.
See stars.
No toaster, backdoor key, egglifter, stove, corkscrew, dish drying cloth, bedding were not clean (sheets only were clean), no wire brush to clean braai, limited forks and knives. Internet page showed 1 or 2 places left. We were the only visitors there.
